New Bedford man heard the Islamic call to prayer 30 years apart. He answered the second time. Linda Roy, Standard-Times © PETER PEREIRA/The Standard-Times Martin Bentz, outreach coordinator of the Islamic Society of Southeastern Massachusetts, places the socially distanced markers where parishioners will kneel during their daily Ramadan prayers. DARTMOUTH When Martin Bentz was 7 years old, he heard his first adhan   the Islamic call to prayer  being shouted from a mosque in Turkey.  It completely fascinated him.  Thirty years later he would hear the call again and it would change his life.  When Bentz first heard the call as a boy, his family was living in Turkey where his father worked as a geologist. He would see the muezzin  (a man who calls Muslims to prayer) climb to the top of the minaret at the nearby mosque and recite the adhan at least five times a day.
